Around 1.3 billion tonnes of weak Kraft black liquor is produced every year, and is usually
concentrated by evaporation and burned to produce energy. Nevertheless, this strategy …

The separation of lignin from the black liquor generated during alkaline pulping is reviewed
in this article with an emphasis on chemistry. Based on published accounts, the precipitation …

The demands of clean water production and wastewater recycling continue to drive
nanofiltration membrane development. Graphene oxide (GO) membranes have exhibited …

In this research, the potential application of Pistacia soft shell (PSS) was investigated as a
novel bio-based flocculant for pulp and paper wastewater (PPWW) treatment. In line with …

Bio-based chemicals synthesized by lignin offer a promising pathway of bioenergy utilization
to achieve the target of the Paris Agreement with< 2° C of climate warming temperature …

Carboxylic acids are one of the most important building blocks and feedstocks for fine
chemicals, flavors and polymers, yet their production largely relies on petrochemical …

Abstract Carbon nanotubes (CNT)/polysulfone (PSf) mixed matrix membranes (MMM) were
prepared by the non-solvent induced phase inversion method and applied in the separation …

In this work, activated carbon nanoparticles (AC) at concentrations ranging from 0 to 1 wt%
were used to prepare polyethersulfone nanofiltration membranes. The effectiveness of these …

Lignin, which is the second most abundant biomass component and has carbon-rich
phenolic content, is a promising renewable raw material for multiple applications, such as …

Membrane technologies have been utilized for the treatment of PPI effluent and sludges
since the late 1960's. Recently, they received increasing attention due to their short …
